PLEXdb is committed to making expression data from plant,
plant pathogen and symbionts publicly available to researchers world-wide.
Data submissions can be designated as private, group access, or public.
Data submissions designated private (or group access) ensures that data is
password protected for 6 months. At the end of the 6-month period, the
submitter will be contacted to see if the data can be released or if an
additional 6 months is needed due to publication or manuscript preparation
delays. If approval has not been given within two years, data will be
archived pending approval for release or deleted from PLEXdb.
In accordance with journal policies, upon publication of the manuscript,
the data will be considered public. The submission will be checked for
structure and content during curation and only PLEXdb curators have access
to the submission during this time. Submissions will be prioritized in the
following order:

Submissions that are to be made public immediately regardless of
publication status.

Private submissions that are related to a paper that has not yet
been accepted.

Private submissions that are related to a paper that has not been
submitted.

Data will not be added to the database until a submission is complete
and has been examined by a data curator. If we need to contact you about
your submission, please respond as quickly as possible so that there will
be no delays in making your data available on PLEXdb. The estimated
release time is two weeks to make a submitted dataset available on PLEXdb.
